A buddy of mine told me he got the lakers at $9000 on a $300 bet about 2 weeks ago.

At first I was like "That's great.. Except they won't make the playoffs".

After doing some thing, I realized, this is a team that COULD beat anyone. Is it likely? No. But would I be willing to lay $300 for the potential to win $9000 with a team that has Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard, World Peace and many other great players?

Doesn't seem like a bad bet to me. Especially if you also have the Thunder and Heat +money. Only team you should worry about now is the Spurs.

It's an AWFUL bet. They have NO CHANCE .... 0.....nada...of winning it all....
